### 2. Overview

The purpose of this MIB is to provide the means for coordination between multiple management stations. That is, the means by which the controlling and monitoring functions of network management can be distributed amongst multiple management stations. Such distribution facilitates the scaling of network management solutions based on the SNMPv2 to meet the needs of very large networks, or of networks composed of multiple interconnected administrations. Specifically, this MIB provides the means for one management station to request management services from another management station.
